EIDLITZ, GEORGE NEUMAN, M. D., of Keokuk, Iowa, was born in Glogan, in the kingdom of Prussia, on
February 16th, 1821. His father was Councilor of Justice in the Supreme Court of the Province of Silesia, Prussia. His mother was daughter of the Mayor

Hospital of Jurijuba, near Rio, under Surgeon-General Dr. Da Costa and Dr. Correa d'Assevedo. While in the discharge of his official duties he had an
attack of yellow fever, followed by a relapse. Of this second attack he was cured by homopathic treatment, which induced him to give to the system a
thorough and patient examination. In order to do this more effectively he came to the United States in March, 1850, and in the colleges of New York and
Philadelphia pursued his studies for a short time ; but meeting with some pecuniary losses, he removed to the State of Mississippi, where for a few
years he was Principal of the Port Gibson Collegiate Academy. During the war he was in active service in the Confederate Army, and having, in
consequence, lost all his property, he removed, in 1864, to Keokuk, Iowa, where he has since been actively and successfully engaged in the duties of his
profession. In June, 1854, he was married to Miss Sarah Measey, of Burlington ; N. J. He is a member of the American Institute of Homopathy, and
Secretary and Treasurer of the Homopathic State Society of Iowa.
